Who succeeded Elizabeth I, affecting Dee's position?

  • Henry VIII

  • Charles I

  • James I

  • Edward VI

Answer

James I succeeded Elizabeth I, significantly impacting John Dee's position. Elizabeth had been a patron of Dee's astrological and alchemical pursuits, but James was less interested in these subjects. As a result, Dee lost his royal patronage and was forced to rely on private clients for support. This change in circumstances had a profound effect on Dee's work and legacy.
